GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The AMS4155 is a monolithic step down switch mode converter with a built in internal power Switch Transistor. It achieves 2A
continuous output current over a wide input supply range with excellent load and line regulation.
Current mode operation provides fast transient response and eases loop stabilization. Fault condition protection includes cycleby-cycle current limiting and thermal shutdown. In shutdown mode the regulator draws 17µA of supply current.

PIN DESCRIPTION
Pin Number NAME DESCRIPTION
1 SYNC Synchronization Input. This pin is used to synchronize the internal oscillator frequency to
an external source. Leave SYNC unconnected or connect to GND if unused.
2 BST Bootstrap. This capacitor is needed to drive the power switch above the supply voltage. It
is connected between LX and BST pins to form a floating supply across the power switch
driver. The voltage across Cbst is about 5V and is supplied by the internal Vcc supply
when LX pin voltage is low.
3 VIN Supply Voltage. The AMS4155 operates from a+4.75V to +23V unregulated input. Cin is
needed to prevent large voltage spikes from appearing at the input power supply.
4 LX This connects the inductor to the internal Switch
5 GND Ground Pin connected to PCB ground plane. This pin is also the ground for internal voltage
reference.
6 FB Feedback. A resistor network of two resistors is used to set-up the output voltage connected
between Output to GND. The node between the two resistors is connected to Feedback pin.
AMS4155
7 COMP Compensation. This node is the output of the transconductance error amplifier and the
input to the current comparator. Frequency compensation is done at this node by
connecting a series R-C to ground.
8 ENABLE Enable. A voltage greater than 2.495V at this pin enables device operation.
